Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently manufacture silicone resin hollow bodies as outer shells of capsules containing a gas which is expanded and becomes a foaming source by heating and breaking the capsules by using the thermally plastic silicone resin for the outer shells of capsules and specifying the average of the outer diameter of the capsules. SOLUTION: A solution produced by dissolving thermally plastic silicone resin such as methyl phenyl polysiloxane resin in a solvent such as dichloromethane is mechanically mixed and stirred with water to produce a dispersion solution. Then, silicone resin hollow bodies are produced by evaporating the solvent and water of the dispersion solution by spraying the dispersions solution to a hot gas current and at the same time solidifying the silicone resin in hollow spherical bodies in the atomized state. The silicone resin hollow bodies are capsules whose outer shell is made of the thermally plastic silicone resin and which contain a gas such as air in their insides. The average of the outer diameter of the capsules is set to be 0.1-100μm and the softening temperature of the capsules is within a range from 40 to 200 deg.C.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, silicone rubber and silicone resin have been used in various applications because they have many excellent properties such as heat resistance, weather resistance, chemical resistance and electrical insulation. Silicone rubber particles and silicone resin particles having excellent physical and chemical properties are well known, but for hollow bodies, a gaseous substance is mixed with an ultraviolet-curable liquid organopolysiloxane composition, and this mixture is mixed. Is dispersed in water and irradiated with ultraviolet rays with stirring to harden it to form a solid organopolysiloxane hollow body (microcapsule), which is merely suggested in JP-A-55-5787. However, this publication neither describes nor suggests a hollow body of the thermoplastic silicone resin itself and a method for producing the same. Such a cured organopolysiloxane hollow body (microcapsule)
Is disadvantageous in that the outer shell is not easily broken even when heated or immersed in a solvent. For example, it cannot be a good foaming agent for silicone rubber sponge or silicone rubber foam.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the silicone resin hollow body of the present invention, the outer shell of the capsule is a thermoplastic silicone resin, and a gas such as air, nitrogen gas and helium gas exists in the capsule. The average outer diameter of the capsule is 0.1 to 1
It is 00 μm, and an average of 5 μm to 50 μm is easy to manufacture. The outer shell thickness of the capsule is 10% of the capsule diameter
There are many before and after. The shape is not particularly limited, but a spherical shape is easy to manufacture. The silicone resin forming the capsule of such a silicone resin hollow body is thermoplastic,
It is solid at room temperature, but softens and melts when heated. The softening point is 40 from the viewpoint of ease of production of hollow body and application.
It is preferable that it is in the range of -200 ° C. The silicone resin preferably has the general formula: RaSiO
(4-a) / 2 (wherein R is a monovalent substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, and a is a number from 0.8 to 1.8), Examples of the divalent substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group include alkyl groups such as methyl group, ethyl group, propyl group and butyl group; aryl groups such as phenyl group and tolyl group; alkenyl groups such as vinyl group and hexenyl group. A halogenated hydrocarbon group such as a chlorophenyl group and a 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl group, and the like. However, in consideration of availability, economy, heat resistance, and the like, a methyl group and a phenyl group are considered. Is preferred. As the silicone resin, those comprising RSiO 3/2 units, those composed of RSiO 3/2 units and R 2 SiO 2/2 units, R 3 SiO 1/2 units and RSiO 3/2 units and R 2 SiO
2/2 units, R 3 SiO 1/2 units and SiO 4/2 units, R 3 SiO 1/2 units, R 2 SiO 2/2 units and SiO 4/2 units Is exemplified. A small or small amount of silanol group, methoxy group, or ethoxy group may remain in the molecule of the silicone resin. The softening point of this silicone resin is from 40C to 200C. If the softening point is lower than 40 ° C., the storage stability of the silicone resin hollow body is remarkably reduced. If the softening point is higher than 200 ° C., it becomes difficult to melt, and handling becomes difficult. Therefore, the temperature is preferably from 60C to 180C. Here, the softening point is a temperature at which the resin starts to flow under its own weight or its own surface tension, and this temperature can be easily measured by a method of observing with a microscope while heating the resin particles at a constant temperature.

[0006] Such a silicone resin hollow body is prepared by mechanically mixing or stirring a solution in which a thermoplastic silicone resin is dissolved in a solvent and water to prepare a dispersion, and then spraying the dispersion into a hot air stream. Then, the solvent and water are volatilized and the silicone resin is solidified into hollow particles in a spray state to be easily produced. First, the silicone resin is dissolved in a solvent that dissolves the resin, and the silicone resin forms a uniform solution. The solvent used here can be volatilized in a hot air stream and is incompatible with water. What is necessary is just to select from a soluble and immiscible thing, and the thing whose boiling point is 30-90 degreeC lower than water is desirable. Such solvents include dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,
Examples thereof include 1-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and benzene.
Next, the silicone resin solution and water are mixed or stirred to form a dispersion. This can be easily performed by using a blade type high-speed kneader, for example, a pin mixer, a turbulizer, a speed mixer, a Saturn mixer, or the like. The method of spraying into the hot air stream is as follows:
The method is not particularly limited as long as it can spray the solution as fine droplets. Examples of the spraying method include a method in which the dispersion is dropped on a high-speed rotating disk and atomized by centrifugal force to spray the dispersion, a method in which the dispersion is sprayed by injecting the dispersion with gas, and a method in which the dispersion is atomized and sprayed by ultrasonic waves. Although a method is exemplified, it is preferable to use a spray nozzle, which is generally called a two-fluid nozzle, spray the dispersion with a gas, and collide fine particles sprayed from two directions to finer particles. . The spray temperature and the temperature of the hot air flow are usually from room temperature to the boiling point of water, that is, 40 ° C.
It is desirable to be within the range of -90C. Thus, the fine droplets sprayed into the hot air flow, the solvent is volatilized while moving on the hot air flow, hollow silicone resin particles, that is,
It becomes a silicone resin hollow body. Here, during the period from the spraying of the dispersion to the collection, the hot air flow temperature decreases due to the volatilization of the solvent and heat radiation to the outside of the system. It is necessary to adjust the outlet temperature and the air velocity of the stream. When non-hollow silicone resin particles are present in addition to the silicone resin hollow body, it is advisable to collect suspended matters by immersion in water containing a small amount of a surfactant. The specific gravity of silicone resin is 1
Although it is larger, when the hollow body is used, the apparent specific gravity becomes smaller than 1 and the water floats on the water, and when the surfactant is dissolved in the water, the silicone resin particles are not repelled by the water. . A gas constituting a hot air flow or a gas at the time of spraying is contained in the silicone resin hollow body. Therefore, when these gases are air, nitrogen gas, and helium gas, they contain air, nitrogen gas, and helium gas, respectively. It may also contain very little water. 30 ° C to 100 ° C to completely remove water
What is necessary is just to heat at a temperature below and below the softening point of the silicone resin.
